"In the course of his study of vengeance as a moral concept, French exposes important distinctions between types of moral theories (karmic and non-karmic) and between people who are morally handicapped and those who are morally challenged. He examines concepts relevant to vengeance, such as honor, moral authority, and evil, and issues such as the rationality of revenge and proportionality in punishment."--BOOK JACKET.

This book is designed for the children of God so that it may lead them back to the basics. This is the power of the Lord 's Prayer because it has been pushed aside because of other beliefs. Now, just look at our USA. It is in a mess because we stopped chasing God's prayer and started chasing things, inventions and money that have caused God's sheep to leave the fold and follow the heathen ways worldly. I was led to write these lessons and turn them into this book. I hope it will help you. God Bless you. Talk with you soon it is another book on the way Sheep of God look for the Power of it.

In the spring of 1964, troubled teenager Cookie Blue is found dead in the Red River. Blue Vengeance follows her younger brother Danny and Cookie's friend Janine through a lazy Winnipeg summer, as they plot to kill the despised teacher they blame for Cookie's death. Danny's father is long gone, and his mother suffers from a debilitating medical condition. Her illness and self-medicated state free Danny from certain constraints traditionally put upon a young teenager by a parent...like committing murder. Like Hamlet, Danny Blue is bent on revenge but struggles with his conscience. As he grapples with grief and love, loyalty and betrayal, and the loneliness at the heart of being human, Danny comes to understand that his life, and his choices, will never be simple again. Alison Preston is a truly original writer and Blue Vengeance is a zinger of a coming-of-age tale, a mix of comedy, suspense, and poignant beauty that only she could create. ?
